What about the engines on both wheels? Don't they need waterproofing as well?
yep ,thats the hard part ,they rust in a week if u get water inside
Dude, just use common "liquid gasket" sealant from your local hardware store. The Kafuter is for direct application onto PCBS so that the circuitry itself gets waterproofed...
I can't find kafuter in Canada. Would gorilla sealant do the job?
I had an old waterproof jacket going spare ... so i cut it up and made a bespoke jacket that fits over and around the base plate .. finished off with grip tape...very easy solution.
yes, I did the same thing, but I seal the top edge with very thin cork bar tape (use for covering handlebar of road bicycles). That material lasts for at least 5+ years and prevents water from leaking into the inside of the battery.
@@Justmyopinionlol modern problems require modern solutions.
just use some RTV silicone, if it can be used on an engine oil sump to stop leaks it can defo work to stop water getting in and you dont need to wait 12 hours. It is also easy to remove cover later and clean up.
But i showed my idea what i doing and what i will do
Bro you’re the best by the way your videos are so helpful
still yet to put some galvanised u bolts in the side of the deck, so you can lock your scoot to a bike rack when your at work, or go into a super market, using some K2 metal bond and permanent thread locker
You opened the seal, now you have to scrape it out the old chemical that protected it before, also other guy used actual rubber mat to seal it. There are 2 buttons bellow the wires, you also need ring seal it with rubber. Dunno about silicone if it;s a good protector. I know that nail polish kind of does the job, but not perfectly if underwatter, there are other sealants that become solid to protect circuits check out GreatScot, but you won;t get to touch the electronics ever I think, as it's sealed forever...
Maybe just use some cat litter inside with a plain sock It will take out all the wetness that passes trough. There are raincoats for decks, but I saw selling them in Philippines. Increasing mudguard length so water would not splash easily on the front deck. I am trying to think about cleaning shoes too, it would help especially at muds and winter. Salty water is the worst of the kind...
Can't you use some silicon? 🤔
I just used pvc tape on my kaboo mantis 10 it works
good one
First of all I want you to know I enjoy all of your content, second of all I wanted to ask you what kind of 3D printer do you use ? Thank you
Wouldn't bathroom or kitchen sealant be better?
nah that's jut for interior use.
@@itsnotdoneyet6980 What does where its used matter. What matters is whether its waterproof and durable which it has to be.
@@gew12 that's an interior silicone with no UV resistance in it, do what you like but if you use an interior silicone on an exterior surface just because of that it won't last.
@@itsnotdoneyet6980 When you say no uv resistence there would need to be an assumption that kitchens remain in the dark when in fact they mostly always have extensive lightening via windows.
@@gew12 not nearly as much as being outside brother, room lighting is not the same as direct exposure to UV, most exterior silicones won't even cure if they have no UV exposure, and others like RTV will cure at room temperature but they dry out if exposed to too much radiation. Do what you like, not my time nor my scooter.
just a tip but maybe use a creme brulee burner or torch lighter to heat the glue, they are cheap and work very well
Thanks bruh, I got advanced equipment but as U can se on on my channel I trying to use simple equipment which have most of my viewers ;0)
@@PirateWasHere I would think a hotglue gun is one of the basic things uh tools most people have
Hmm ok then for next episodes I will use it. Couple times people asked me " What is hot glue gun" so ... there we are 😂👼
Hey pirate another question. Do I remove the original silicon before I add the new silicon?
Second question. I apply Windex to the edges for final cleaning before application of new silicon?
For excess silicon build up use alcohol spray "before it dryes" wipes right up and takes nothing away from bonding
Hey pirate. Kafuter K-705 will take way to long to ship to me. Can. I use gorilla sealant instead?
Sure, even cheap silicone sealant will be good
@@PirateWasHere also another question. When I take battery out. It's glued to the frame? Do I have to glue it back to the bottom once I reset it with the styrofoam spacers? Is it silicon or glue holding down the battery ?
Under battery is double tape , you have to remove battery very gentle
OMDAYS man, what battery 🔋 size are you using?
Is that a 72V 40ah 8000w?? Thanks for the videos, be careful out there m8
what about the underside of the deck?
Hey i just got laotie es19 what should i waterproof without the deck? Because im in ireland and why im in work scooter standing outside, and here is quate rainy.
No rubber gaskets on the deck of that scooter?
I think that it could be easier if done with epoxy, it would be a little more permanent but more water proof
don't, epoxies cure too hard and will most likely break because of the vibrations, gasket RTV silicone is ideal.
does it work on the laotie l6 to?
Can you connect two 60v characters at the same time ? Or a 30v and a 60v?
30V and 60V at the same time? Never do that two 60V chargers is okay.
does the application of this sealant affect the warranty?
For sure!
Definitely!
How to open when you want to fix something? 😅
open it is easy, fix it is more diff. Lots of tutorials around internet ;)
@Pirate I got 2 weeks ago error 28 (mosfets) on my xiaomi m365. Warranty was rejected due to the fact litmus papers became red, what means that there was water inside scooter box :-0 Polish service told me that mother board must be replaced at my cost - this is crazy !!! I have checked that there should be original gasket there and you don't have to use any Silicone Rubber... Are there any better way to make stock m365 Splash proof ? Should you use additionally Kafuter K-705 with gasket ?
Yeah you can try i always adding kaufer on my m365, you can fix by ur self M ;)
@@PirateWasHere Thx - I bought m365 in a PL shop to have warranty - now it appeared it is worth nothing ;-) I will try to fix it on my own - I have found some youtube videos how to check MOSFETs... if it will be just broken mosfets it is 5 minutes replacement with soldering iron
@@PirateWasHere Pirate can you recommend some silicone rubber from Poland ? I have bought Kafuter K-705 RTV but right now delivery from Chinna takes some time...
@@santory666 same here, don't know why though. I ordered other stuff at the same time and that already arrived.
what about silacon or that one goof from commercial flex spray
use RTV silicone, automotive grade, any hardware shop have them
who knows a little bit of plumbing knows this is not how you waterproof anything lol
You could have just used the hot glue gun ya know...
Its not very flexi ;)
just use hot glue gun
exactly, U should never use it !
